The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e-    ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.

Read the Safety Data Sheet of hydrogen peroxide to identify the recommended way to store this substance. Choose one:_______.
Lena [83]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

In a tightly closed container in a dry and well-ventilated place

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide should be store in a tight closed container and ventilated area because it is an oxidizing agent and it's has oxidizing characteristics. If to is exposed or the bottle lid is broken and exposed it can react and liberate oxygen and heat. It can react with the air and chemical it is exposed with. This will make it to be less effective and there will be a change in it's composition.

Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.

1. Draw a wedge/dash structure for trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The structure with the ring flipped is the most stable

Explanation:

We have the  trans 1,2 - dimethylcyclohexane. With the wedge/dash structure we could not figure is this form is stable (If we do a comparison with the cis structure). But when we do a chair structure and ring flipped structure, this is easier to look.

The picture attached shows the structures, they are labeled as 1, 2 and 3, according to this problem.

In the chair structure, according to the picture below, you can see that both methyls are heading in the axial positions of the ring (One facing upward and the other downward). This is pretty stable, however, when the methyls are in those positions, the methyl position 1, can undergoes an 1,3 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms (They are not drawn, but still are there), so this interaction makes this structure a little less stable that it can be.

On the other side, the ring flipped structure, we can see that both methyls are in the equatorials positions of the ring, and in these positions, it can avoid the 1,4 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms, making this structure the most stable structure.

Hope this helps

How many moles of ScCl3 can be produced when 10.00 mol Sc react with 9.00 mol Cl2
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Moles of ScCl_3 = 6 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of Sc and Cl_2 to make ScCl_3 is:

2Sc+3Cl_2⇒2ScCl_3

The above reaction shows that 2 moles of Sc  can react with 3 moles of Cl_2 to form ScCl_3.

Mole Ratio= 2:3

For 10 moles of Sc we need:

Moles of Cl_2 = Moles of Sc *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 = 10 *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 =15 moles

So 15 moles of Cl_2 are required to react with 10 moles of Sc but we have 9 moles of Cl_2 , it means Cl_2 is limiting reactant.

Moles of ScCl_3=Given\  Moles\  of\ Cl_2 *\frac{2\  Moles\ o\ fScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles\ of\  ScCl_3=9 *\frac{2\  Moles\ of\ ScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles of ScCl_3= 6 moles
